| 452253 | 2006-05-25 01:37:00 | we may get HDTV programming when telecom release their IPTV. they can offer HDTV programmes(most shows i usa are filmed in hdtv now and nz broadcasters lower the quality when they screen the show in nz). there is HDTV IPTV set top boxes(look on pace's website). telecom won't need an HDTV satellie cuz the tv will come through broadband connection. lol yea that will last a long time on Telecoms 10 gig data caps. I calculate 7 hours of watching TV a month lol. |

| 452254 | 2006-05-25 01:56:00 | I find half an hour every few weeks is plenty of television. That's The Simpsons. I did watch a few of the South Park. As for the rest ... All you dreamers who want HDTV through your broadband connections (including programmes straight from the USA) should think a bit. If you get this, you will have to pay what it will cost to provide it. It won't be cheap, and there aren't many altruists out there. |

| 452255 | 2006-05-25 02:52:00 | If we don't push for it, we will never get it, Go the "dreamers", Probally the very same group that have been "whinging about Telecom" for the last few years. And I'm glad we did. well done. Futhermore the content can be streamed from a local source, To think that every customer would be getting their streaming media from a source in yankee land, well, thats just dreaming. The overall cost should be minimal, especially as people will be able to pick only what they want to watch, Certainly less then a monthly rape by Sky television for endless repeats, advertising and packages of crap channels. |

| 452256 | 2006-05-25 05:25:00 | According to the PC World Hot Products Blog, Sky is planning to launch hdtv in the next 18 months to 2 years: Sky to Launch Hi Def TV Within Two Years (blogs.pcworld.co.nz) I think I'll wait and see if that actually happens, and if so, what equipment I'll need to upgrade to get it. No point upgrading my tv now if it becomes redundant in a few months time. Not to mention what's going to happen in the HD DVD vs Blu-Ray war. |

| 452257 | 2006-05-26 11:49:00 | TVs in shops have 1080, 1240 and 1380 resolution types. Most of these are advertised as HDTV ready. Anyone has any idea what the resolution for HDTV is when it is introduced? | Fredtan (9581) | ||
| 452258 | 2006-05-26 23:46:00 | In the UK Sky has just launched its HD service in 1080i format. I don't have a clue what Sky will using here, the two choices are 720p (1280 x 720 progressive) or 1080i (1920 x 1080 interlaced). At this point there are very few TVs that will actually display 1080i or p at its native resolution but by the time Sky launches it's HD service they will be much more common and far cheaper. Current 720p sets (and those with 768 vertical lines) will display 1080i but it will need to be scaled down. I'm not sure how much difference in quality there is between 720p scaled up slightly and 1080i scaled down though. Unless you have a TV larger than 40-inches you probably won't notice the difference between 720p and 1080i (or 1080p in the case of BlueRay disks) from a regular viewing distance. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
